Looks like the algos figured out the best time to buy protection. Right over the previous lows and suckered in fresh new shorts.

Final half hour dump in S&P
I wonder what the market on close orders is - hopefully CNBC will announce any minute

how is trade execution there? Fidelity almost always executes my cover order better than the price i see on my screen.

looks to me like the buy vix algos are back. Aggressive algos might make this leap into some new highs by the close and after hours

As much as it was nice making $$ today, overall today's action was OK but I miss the old days.
The days when not too long ago would catch a 2-3 dollar move in VXX.
Moves are still small and maybe because I'm only shorting 20-24k TVIX. I dunno.
But overall good day

Did you cover after hours?

I covered 75% when VXX was at around 17.02 and then covered remaining when my doorbell rang before market close
I'm up just shy of $2k but I miss the days of making 10-15k a day.
IB is way more strict with using margin than Scottrade. But Scottrade doesn't allow shorting any security under $5.
No positions. Hoping Vix etns are up a lot in premarket. Those were the good old days of shorting them.

No news yet of reverse split
